Here's a soup known among my friends as the "Divine Soup". Dead easy to make, absolutely gorgeous in the mouth. Courgette and gorgonzola. Sounds bizarre, tastes magical.
Sweat a couple of sliced medium-sized onions in some olive oil for ten minutes. Then add three or four chopped courgettes and leave to sweat (covered) for ten minutes. Stir every now and then. Stir in some thyme leaves if you like thyme. I probably use half a teaspoon or so of fresh leaves. Then add some water or vegetable stock to just cover the vegetables and leave to simmer for half an hour. Turn off the heat and crumble in 100 g (four oz) or so of gorgonzola and leave to melt. (You can't really "crumble" gorgonzola but you know what I mean.) Then whizz through the blender till smooth. Reheat very gently if necessary and serve with a little extra gorgonzola on the top as a garnish.
The gorgonzola comes through mostly in the creamy texture of the soup and in a mild acidity. No way could it be described as "stingy".
